Yeah, me. The Network guy.Here's the setup: G4 running OS X, with IP forwarding enabled (It's acting as a proper IP gateway.. I know this is setup correctly) Duo 230, Mac OS 7.6.x connected to G4 via an Ethernet<->LocalTalk bridge and crossover Cat5.
How do I get AppleTalk and TCP/IP setup so I can use Internet apps thru the G4???
Need I use AppleShare IP Server, or is there a simpler way? ~Marchie ~Chaplain Marchie Holder of the Compact Mac -

I "think" you set the menu in TCP/IP to comfigure manually, set the IP adderess to one that would be on your local network, set the router address to the network IP of your G4, and set the name server address to whatever it's set to on the G4. This worked for me, but it was in a rather different situation so I don't know if it will work here.AnubisTTP

Tried that... and AIM doesn't work. That was my initial thought, but my only options for TCP/IP connectivity in the control panel are "MacIP" and "MacPPP". I selected MacIP and set it up as you described, bu nada, no go. ~Marchie ~Chaplain Marchie Holder of the Compact Mac -

In the TCP/IP control panel...set "connect via" to 'ethernet' (presumably, or modem/printer port on the Duo?) set 'Configure' to 'manual' give the client Mac a static IP address (198.162.x.x), and subnet mask 255.255.255.0, then set the router and name server address to the IP of the Mac running OSX that *should* work cheers

TCP/IP won't do jack on it's own. But seeing as the G4 is setup as a router, you use TCP/IP on all the client computers (Mac or PC) to allow them to surf the web using a single connection via the router.By they way Marchie, you mention IP routing is 'ON', but you might need to turn on DNS forwarding also. <aside>
Having never played with OS X IP Forwarding, I may be talking from the hole in my butt. However I've just successfully setup IPNetRouter and I am assuming that the principles are the same. One Mac set as a router, and all others pointing to the router via TCP/IP

Is it possible that localtalk bridges don't forward IP packets? I just tried to get a LC III to talk to an Airport base station using an Iprint adapter and it did not work either.AnubisTTP
